Ah, so you just saw Mr Gove's letter, then?

 

Well, your government was always going to prepare British industry and the British public for signficantly increased friction at the borders, because your politicians were perfectly aware that, even if they secured the FTA they demanded, that FTA meant signficantly increased friction at the borders.  

And they were always going to blame (a) the EU; (b) the French (and/or the Germans); (c) the haulage industry; (d) the ferry companies; (e) other industries; (f) the Covid-19 pandemic and (g) malicious fairies, in that order, for the signficantly-increased friction.

 

What, you thought they were going to acknowledge that it was the direct, entirely forseeable and widely forseen outcome of the UK's own, unconstrained policy choices? 

 

So, well, JP Morgan is moving £230bns' worth of assets out of the UK to Frankfurt. Not the first, nor the last.

The reality is that the vast majority of the global parasite high-flyers employed by the likes of JP Morgan are not UK citizens anyway, and moving across borders is a normal part of their capitalist vulture career path.

JP Morgan have been muttering about this move to Frankfurt since the Leaman Brothers collapse of 2008.

 

JP Morgan also played a part in the financial crash of 2008, and were fined a record $13bn over toxic mortgages.

The Financial crash directly led to austerity, which in turn led to the support for Brexit (why stay in an economic trading bloc that exists to mainly benefit the rich?) JP Morgan is one the many architects of the Brexit vote. You reap what you sow.

Considering the assets are going to Frankfurt, i.e. in the EU, then obviously fully-accountable clean ones.

 

With even a passing knowledge of recent news (recent for many, less so for long-time dot-connectors), never mind the latest financial data trove to be whistleblown, it's easy enough to guess why the others are staying

Really well, thank you.

 

The best thing the UK has done this century is to Leave the fading, out of date, twentieth century construct, the EU.

No-deal Brexit will cost UK more than Covid:

"LSE analysis says long term economic hit will be two to three times as large as Covid impact"

Can we have some evidence of that please or is this just another of your ill thought-out unsubstantiated rants?

At the moment, it only looks to have  a down side with no apparent benefits...

As well as a border down the Irish Sea, it looks like we'll be getting one in Kent - Lorry drivers will face de-facto Brexit border in Kent, Gove confirms.

 

Quote

A de-facto Brexit border is to be introduced for lorry drivers entering Kent to travel on to the EU, Michael Gove has confirmed.

The minister for the Cabinet Office and chancellor of the duchy of Lancaster told the Commons that lorry drivers would need a “Kent access permit” to get into the county from 1 January with “police and ANPR cameras [automatic number plate recognition]” enforcing the system.

Drivers, British or foreign, who are travelling, for instance from depots in the Midlands, will need to get a permit before they arrive in Kent if they intend to board a ferry or Eurotunnel train.

The KAP has been considered inside Whitehall for some time as a means of averting traffic chaos in the county, but this is the first time it has been confirmed by the government as an operational plan for next January.

This is only necessary because of the government's failure to prepare for us actually leaving the EU.

Kent should build a wall. And get Essex to pay for it.

Why would EU farmers be bankrupt?  Lorries bringing food from the EU to the UK aren't going to be stuck in queues in Kent trying to get to Dover.
